Berlin Marathon: Lebanese carbs

Up at 6.30am for an easy half-hour around cool and cloudy Acton Park then 20 press-ups before breakfasting like a king on a protein shake. Yesterday's sports massage has paid off.

Carbed up at lunchtime by sharing a Lebanese meze in Soho with visiting Vince. Washed it down with a quick visit to the Old Coffee House in Beak Street. 

Vince: "Do you serve coffee?"

World-weary barmaid: "No."

"But it's called the Old Coffee House."

"It used to be a coffee house. Now we sell proper drinks."

We settled for a pint of Brodies' Kiwi and a glass of lemonade.
